Choosing a consultant is a difficult task. You are trusting
that individual with your business. With the press of the
wrong key, you could lose all of your precious data. Not only
that, but the wrong advice could cost you thousands of dollars in
new equipment and programs--some of which you might not even need!
Here are some things to look for in a consultant.
Does your consultant listen? |
At DataTamer, we speak English--not "geek". Before
we try and do anything we will sit down with you and
determine what are your needs and desires. Then we try
to find a realistic "match" to those needs and desires. |
Does your consultant sell hardware/software? |
At DataTamer, we do not believe in selling you any
product. We are your agent. We represent you.
Our duty is to you, the client rather than "making a sale". |
How long has the consultant been in
business? |
DataTamer has been servicing individuals and businesses
since 1981. |
What is the largest installation you have
been responsible for? |
The largest installation we have been responsible for is
1,700 computers spanning the globe in the United States,
Canada, Asia, and the UK. |
What is your "privacy policy"? |
Whatever we discuss stays in the room. We work
with many attorneys and doctors. We understand what
confidentiality is all about. If you desire, we will
sign a confidentiality agreement. |
What is your consultant's business
experience? |
At DataTamer, we understand what it takes to meet a
payroll every week. In addition, we have had budget
level responsibility for over 2 million dollars annually. |
How large is your smallest client? |
DataTamer works with individuals and firms that range
from 1 user to about 25 users. Think of DataTamer as
your Virtual IT Department! |
